I don't want to break the law, and I would have to to get it. Or were you making a joke about the relational database in Office?

I posted this on the hunter boards, but I'm sure it will get eaten, so I thought I'd post it here too. This is the band-aid that I use to get the spreadsheet to work in open office. I still can't get the sorting macros to work properly, but what I do is take the stat weights and plug them into Loot Rank for WotLK to compile a BIS list. Here's what you need to do to make that work.

DISCLAIMER: This has only been tested with version 38d of the spreadsheet and OO 3.0

1) First, make sure that your OO is set to allow macros. Go to Tools > Options > Security > Macro Security. Set this to low or medium.

2) Now you need to monkey with the macros to get them to support OO basic. Go to Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > Openoffice.org basic. In this window select Hunter_DPS > Standard > Module1, then hit "Edit".

3) In the code window that should be up now, first go to Edit > Find/Replace, and enter "Rem" in the find field, nothing in the "replace with" field, and hit "replace all". This makes all the macro code active.

Now go to sheet 36 and put the "rem" back in the method name that now reads "Private Sub IncentTest_Click". It should be "Private Sub IncrementTest_Click".

4) Now you need to go through every module (the tabs at the bottom) and delete the top two lines as well as the bottom line. The top two should be "Attributes VBA...." and "Sub..." the bottom line should be "End Sub". Then, at the top of each tab, add the line

Option VBASupport 1

5) Go the the "Overview" sheet and unprotect it (Tools > Protect Document > Sheet)

6) Pull up the form controls toolbar (View > Toolbars > Form Controls)

7) Turn on design mode by clicking the button in the upper right-hand corner (a pencil and a ruler)

8) Click on the "CalcAttributes" button in the spreadsheet to select it

9) Right click the button and select "Control" from the dropdown menu

10) In this window, in the "Events" tab, click the ellipsis button next to the field that reads "Mouse Button Pressed"

11) Click "Macro" in the next window

12) The macro you want is under "Hunter_DPS > Standard > Sheet36 > Increment_Test_Click. Select this and click "OK". You can now close the other windows you opened

13) Click the pencil/ruler button in the upper right-hand corner of the Form Controls toolbar to turn design mode off. You may also close the toolbar.

14) Click the button, watch the spreadsheet do its magic, and take the stat weights to lootrank.com!

You can also get most of the other macros to work now that you've fixed the formatting on them, the names are pretty straightforward and it's easy to guess which ones go with which buttons, just use the same procedure outlined in steps 6-13. As I mentioned before, the sorting macros don't sort properly, and the import-export functions cause errors. If you're getting errors in the import-export functions, just comment out (a single apostrophe before the line) or delete the entire function so that the other macros in that module will run. If anyone knows of a simpler way to do steps 3 and 4 or if you think you can get the other functions working, I'd love to hear it.

"We made a hotfix recently to lower the coefficient of Explosive Shot. Sorry we didn't get a chance to announce the change ahead of time. We don't typically do patch notes for hotfixes so we don't have a system in place to always broadcast these before they happen.

We are in the process of making some changes to get damage done more in parity (in PvP and PvE). If there are other classes far ahead of you on the damage meters, chances are good they will see some nerfs to their damage soon too.
Would be nice to see a new spreadsheet version for testing.

I'm working on converting it to OOo right now. Base functionality works "out of the box" with the excel version, it's just all of the good features like profiles, loading gear automagically, the gear planner, and any of the other buttons that doesnt work (basically everything that makes this an amazing spreadsheet instead of just an awesome one)

And I think the joke was indeed poking fun at the fact that Access is also a db app in MS Office, not that you aren't pirating it.

From the thread, post #166 ... World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> HUNTERS: why the stealth nerf?

From the testing I've done the coefficient seems to have been changed to [RAP * 0.14 + 428]-[RAP * 0.14 + 516] from [RAP * 0.16 + 428]-[RAP * 0.16 + 516] that it was before.

Two small bugs that started after version 82 and are still present:
It's [Staff of the Plaguehound] not Staff of the Plaguehand, and the stats associated with the later are somehow messed up. They produce #N/A on selection

EDIT: the item is correct in the weapon list on the melee sheet, it's just wrong in the selection list for the main hand (AO78 on the Melee tab).

I'm getting massive problems importing from file in the latest two versions of the spreadsheet. Even downloaded them multiple times to make sure that wasn't the problem.

It doesn't import gear, which I suppose I can live with, but maybe that, maybe something else, is messing up importing of other things. For example, my Buff Profiles are apparently now Yes, Improved 4/4 and Rank 5, whereas my Talent specs are now No, blank, No, None and No. Importing one of the talent specs fills every slot with #N/A.

One of the minor glyphs isn't imported, none of my custom settings are imported (don't know if it does that normally), and shot priority (again don't know if it does that anyway).

Hopefully that's enough to spot a pattern and figure out what's going on there.

The structure of the import/export file changed between v82 & v83 and the v83 sheet does a poor version of recovering data from a v82 file. I recommend reloading from the armoury and rebuilding shot rotations, talent & buff specs by hand. It's less painful.

Yesterday Ghostcrawler posted that they made a hotfix and lowered the coefficient of Explosive Shot.
Is this change already in the spreadsheet?

Darkmoon Card: Death

Would you be able to include Darkmoon Card: Death if possible in a future build please. In most raids this seems to account for over 1% of my total DPS from procs plus of course the extra 85 crit rating is useful.

That post does not say it is in the spreadsheet; it is merely quoting a WoW forum stating the new coefficient. His question is entirely valid, and I would like to know as well.

If it is in the spreadsheet, there is a post somewhere in the past page or two of this thread saying "new version of spreadsheet, changes are: ... [changed Explosive Shot coefficient]... ". This will also appear in the changelog in the first post of the thread. So you can answer your question yourself in all of 20 seconds.
